They entered the mountain halfway up the mountain and then flew up while sticking close to the ground. That was the way they were traveling now.
When the Cloud Apex Immortal Palace was built here, it was called the Cloud Apex because it was surrounded by clouds and mist. One could only see the sword light but not its true appearance. Therefore, all the palaces and buildings were built on top of the clouds and mist. Mortals below could not see them.
But once they passed the mountainside and arrived above the clouds, their field of vision widened. There were many palaces on the mountain peak, built according to the mountain's topography. They were arranged in picturesque disorder and the layout was profound. It was as if they were stepping on the clouds, as if they were in paradise! It was extremely shocking!
Looking at Lou Xiaoyi's shocked expression, Hua Erlang smiled proudly.
"I told you! As long as you have been here before, you can't not treat this place as your home! Once you come, you don't want to leave!
But I am also a cultivator. For more than ten thousand years, I have never added a brick or tile to the Cloud Apex, nor did I break the mountain or change the terrain. This is to maintain the original state as much as possible. It is both out of respect for the owner and also out of self-awareness as a guest. "
While leading the way, he explained, "Although there isn't a clear distinction, in principle, the large palaces, pavilions, and independent buildings are all residences of Core Formation cultivators, while Foundation Building cultivators are much smaller and scattered in remote areas. However, the higher you go, the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator is. This is also a fact!
The Cloud Apex is three thousand feet high. Above two thousand feet, it is basically the world of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. After two thousand five hundred feet, there is not a single Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is the residences of the Jin Dan cultivators. Old Brother Fei, when you travel here, you must pay attention to this point. Do not cross this boundary easily. Rogue cultivators have bad tempers, they are not like sect disciples who like to talk about principles. "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded and laughed, "Brother Hua, go ahead. Don't you still have to find your friends? I am not a child, I will not go to dangerous places. When I am done, I will go down the mountain. Brother Hua, don't waste your time. When we meet again, we will hold each other's arms and talk. "
The two of them exchanged contact details and went their separate ways.
Lingering above the clouds, the beauty of the artistic conception was breathtaking. However, Lou Xiaoyi did not think that this was the most suitable mountain gate for the Swordsman. It was far inferior to Mount Xiao and the Dome!
The environment could affect one's will. It might not matter if one was in the Yuanying, but for most of the middle and low-level cultivators, the influence was subtle. This might be the reason why the Cloud Top Sword Palace chose to give up and leave the Five Rings.
When a Swordsman faced a Blossoming Flower Realm or an Ethereal Immortal Realm, how could a young Swordsman attack without any distractions?
If he really unsheathed his sword, would it be compatible with such an environment? Had he become someone who only cared about appearances and no longer cared about the cruelty of reality?
The thick layer of clouds on the mountainside added to the domineering atmosphere, but it was like a person wearing a wide and beautiful grass skirt. Could you still see where your feet were?
From a practical point of view, the overly thick clouds would also block part of a cultivator's divine sense and all of their vision. In terms of attack and defense, it would imprison them in a disadvantageous situation! If there were enemies, they would be able to approach easily!
On this point, the Xuanyuan Swordsman's principle of finding a mountain gate was very practical. The snowy mountains were cold and endless!
When one was in such a place, the first thing one would think of was how to survive!
There were no flowers, no ripples, no colorful purples, no sunny days. There was only clarity in the extreme cold, and a glimmer of life under the snow!
For disciples who had just entered the Way of the Sword, practicing in these two different environments would definitely result in two different outcomes!
Similarly, the Wei Sword Mountain made the same choice. However, they did not choose the extreme cold, but the deathly stillness!
This was the difference between the true Way of the Sword and the Way of the Sword that was cultivated by the Dharma Vein! They were not the same thing! Just like how the Sword Vein was used to cultivate the Dharma Vein, it was also a specious thing!
However, as a place to cultivate one's mind, this place was very suitable. It was completely relaxed, just like taking a big pill. The environment could sometimes achieve such an effect!
Sometimes, Lou Xiaoyi wondered if those sects that were dedicated to the Way of the Sword had noticed something because of this.
He just strolled around twenty thousand feet above the cloud top. As long as he did not enter the pavilions and other places that had owners, no one would bother him. This was because there were many other Independent Cultivators like him who were strolling around.
He had his own plans for his next step. Of course, it was impossible for him to just go down the mountain. If he followed the rules, why did he come here?
It was also not suitable for him to go up twenty-five thousand feet. He had not even found the traces of the Li Family's son. If he exposed himself so rashly, he would be creating more trouble for himself.
It was most suitable to stay on a mountain peak that was about twenty thousand feet high. After all, the pavilions only took up a very small area. Most of the scenery was still deep in the mountains, so it was not difficult to find a place to stay. In fact, most of the rogue cultivators who came here to sightsee had this idea. If they ran into someone, they would be considered unlucky. If they didn't run into someone, they would just continue to mingle around like this.
Just like that, he wandered around here for several days. He often came into contact with the Loose Cultivators here, but he never met anyone as easy to talk to as Hua Erlang, so he couldn't get any valuable information out of them. He roughly knew the Li family's son's appearance and characteristics, but on such a large mountain peak, Golden Core cultivators were all high up in the sky. How could he possibly meet one?
He needed to go up stealthily to the highest point of the cloud top. Since this Li Peinan was so impressive, the place where he stayed would definitely not be low!
He found a night and straightened his body. It was as if a star had risen from the peak of the mountain …
Night and day did not have much meaning to Cultivators. This was theoretical. However, if you were to hang in the sky in broad daylight, you would still be a very obvious target.
Lou Xiaoyi's Escape Technique was very suitable for the night. Furthermore, it was the kind that allowed him to hang in the sky. When he completely indulged himself in the starry sky, the star chart in his body would correspond with the real starry sky. In other people's perception, this was a star!
Unless one's cultivation was especially high, their perception was especially sharp, or they had a similar understanding of the stars. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to discover that this thing hanging in the sky was a human trying to spy on them.
His speed was very slow. If he was faster, he would turn into a shooting star. What was there to see?
Such a swaggering and brazen act was the safest. His body emitted a gentle starlight outwards. Not only did it prevent others from spying on him, it also disguised him well.
In this state, he hovered in the sky above the cloud top, quietly feeling the various spiritual waves coming from the peak of the mountain. This was passive reception and not active detection. This was the limit of what he could do now. After all, in a situation where he did not have any advantage in his cultivation, he could only rely on the uniqueness of his technique.
